Gad Partok watched from his living room as TV news played videos of Hamas militants tearing through communities just a few miles from where he lives in the Israeli city of Ashkelon. He was shocked by the militants' brazen trail through the farming cooperatives and small towns of his adopted country. He wondered where Israel's defenses had gone. The feeling of abandonment brought back the disturbing memories of his youth.
